Sven about town

I had a fun time watching the news last night. It seems our man Sven does more than just the weather. He had a special interest story about water in the area. He talked to people at the water treatment plants and other such places. He even went down a rope into the sewer with a flashlight attached to his head (a la spelunking) and did an interview with some guy down there. It was interesting. I pointed out to VV that it must have been scripted, because everything he said and all his voiceovers (or whatever they call it) were smooth and flawless. But then, during the sewer interview, he pointed to the wall and said to the guy, "What does this mean? There's a spike, and it has some . . . junk hanging down from it." We didn't hear the guy's response, because we were laughing too hard. It was especially funny that he paused before the word 'junk,' like he had to search his vocabulary to select the ideal word, and junk is what he came up with.

Anyway, I am glad to see our favorite local celeb getting more face time. He even said that if anyone has science related questions, they can email them to him and he will try and figure them out. So, this may happen more in the future. It may have been happening for a while already, unbeknownst to me. But I am thinking about emailing him some ideas. Maybe about the science of blogs. Then he might talk about us on the air. I wonder what he would say?
